Intrepid Metals Identifies Several New Porphyry Copper-Gold Targets at Corral Copper

Vancouver, British Columbia – Newsfile Corp. – April 15, 2025 – Intrepid Metals Corp. (TSXV: INTR) (OTCQB: IMTCF) (“Intrepid” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that several new porphyry copper-gold targets have been identified on the Corral Copper Property (“Corral” or the “Property”), located in Cochise County, part of the prolific Turquoise District of southeastern Arizona. Corral is geologically analogous to the prolific Bisbee Camp (located ~100km southeast) where high-grade copper-gold Carbonate Replacement Deposits (“CRD”) (e.g., Copper Queen; 53Mt @ 6% Copper1) are spatially associated with Jurassic porphyry copper-gold porphyry deposits (Lavender Pit; 223 Mt @ 0.63% Copper past production2). Although there is porphyry style alteration and mineralization at Corral, a systematic porphyry exploration campaign for the district has not been previously completed.

“The Corral Copper District hosts widespread carbonate replacement copper-gold-silver mineralization, which represents the distal expression of a potential copper porphyry deposit,” stated Ken Engquist, CEO of Intrepid. “Aspects of the CRD mineralization intersected during the 2024 drill program at Corral confirmed our assertion that there is porphyry copper potential at the Property. The drill core demonstrates key geological features consistent with the transition from lower temperature CRD mineralization to higher temperature skarn mineral assemblages, as well as mineralized vein styles that form in or near the porphyry environment.”

The Corral Copper Project is centered on 3 northwest trending CRD style copper-gold-silver prospects including Ringo, Earp and Holliday (Figure 1). At Bisbee, deposits formed in the same host rocks (Abrigo Limestone) and similar age and composition intrusions ~100 kilometers southeast of Corral and include the Copper Queen CRD (53 Mt @ 6% Copper1) and the associated Lavender porphyry copper deposit that contains 223 Mt @ 0.63% Cu2. Since CRD style copper-gold-silver mineralization can occur peripheral to a copper-gold porphyry deposit, Intrepid has, for the first time in the Property’s history, conducted a systematic targeting exercise to identify porphyry zones in a highly prospective exploration district with intensely altered and copper-gold mineralized host rocks.

The Company cautions that discoveries or mineralization on analogous properties (e.g. Bisbee Camp, Copper Queen, Lavender Pit) may not necessarily be indicative to the presence of mineralization on the Corral Property.

New Porphyry Copper-Gold Targets

The highly successful 2024 drill program at Corral provided Intrepid the first opportunity to evaluate host rocks, alteration and mineralization styles and intensities in all of the Holliday, Earp and Ringo zones (see Intrepid News Release dated July 9, 2024; Figure 1). The Ringo Zone is best understood and is significant because it contains a near-surface supergene enrichment blanket, disseminated intrusion hosted copper-gold-sliver mineralization in the Copper Bell Porphyry, as well as CRD style mineralization hosted in the Cambrian Abrigo and Mississippian Escabrosa formation limestones. Mineralization styles include multiple high-grade lenses of massive sulphide, copper-bearing hydrothermal breccias in addition to mineral assemblages transitional to higher temperature skarn and vein features with associated potassic alteration consistent with porphyry copper-gold deposits (porphyry B-Veins; see Figures 2A-F).

The Corral Copper Project contains numerous examples of superposed argillic, quartz-sericite-pyrite and locally higher temperature potassic alteration in intrusions which indicates proximity to porphyry copper-gold mineralization (Figures 1 and 2). Intrepid has conducted systematic exploration targeting leveraging geological mapping and geochemical sampling, WorldView3 short wave infrared surface alteration studies and ZTEM, VTEM, radiometric and magnetic airborne geophysics to identify positions on the property with porphyry copper-gold potential. Intrepid has prioritized target areas with porphyry-style surface expressions defined by multiple datasets that exceed 1 x 1 kilometers with demonstrable depth continuity. Intrepid is currently conducting field mapping and sampling to strengthen confidence in the porphyry targets with the ultimate objective of advancing them to the drill stage.

Targets are associated with surface alteration (mapping and/or WorldView3 anomalies), large, deep ZTEM resistivity/conductivity and magnetic geophysical features. The highest priority targets are directly associated with copper-gold mineralization at surface (Figure 1).

Figure 2. Veins and textures from Ringo that are considered either transitional to or indicative of porphyry mineralization including 1A-1C grey to glassy quartz only or quartz+pyrite veins, either massive or with discernible centerlines; 1D Vuggy silica, druses and clay alteration that is cut by pyrite and chalcopyrite consistent with the shallow porphyry environment; 1E Chalcopyrite replacing Gusano texture (lower argillic alteration zone); 1F Stained slab showing potassium feldspar alteration (stains yellow) demonstrating quartz-sericite veins that cut higher temperature potassic alteration. Lower temperature porphyry style alteration (quartz-sericite-pyrite) superimposed on higher temperature (potassic) alteration is called “telescoping” which is a feature of high-grade systems where mineralization is enhanced when two Cu systems are superimposed.

On July 9, 2024, Intrepid announced the final results from its initial drill program at Corral, igniting substantial interest in the Property. The program delivered high-grade intercepts, particularly from the Ringo Zone:

112.95 meters (“m”) of 1.50% Copper (“Cu”), 0.53 grams per ton (“gpt”) Gold (“Au”) and 8.22 gpt Silver (“Ag”) (1.66% Copper Equivalent (“CuEq”)3) from 68.40 to 181.35m in Hole CC24_023 including,

  • 63.40m of 2.57% Cu, 0.91 gpt Au and 14.14 gpt Ag (2.83% CuEq3)
  • 1.40m of 20.20% Cu, 8.51 gpt Au and 250.00 gpt Ag (23.85% CuEq3).

193.15m of 0.68% Cu and 0.33 gpt Au (0.83% CuEq3 from 27.00 to 220.15m in Hole CC24_011 including,

  • 48.85m of 2.24% Cu and 0.97 gpt Au (2.58% CuEq3) and
  • 3.90m of 6.80% Cu and 1.02 gpt Au (6.54% CuEq3).

The Company’s initial drill results highlight the Property’s significant potential to host significant intervals of copper-gold-silver-zinc mineralization. Please refer to the news release dated July 9, 2024 entitled “Intrepid Metals Drills 20.20% Cu, 8.51 gpt Au and 250.00 gpt Ag (23.85% CuEq) at its Corral Copper Property in Arizona,” which is filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca for additional information regarding these drill results.

Additional Updates

The Company also announced that it has entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement“) for a patented mining claim (the “Emmet Claim“) from Silver Nickel Mining Company. The new acquisition adds an additional 19.13 acres contiguous to the Company’s Corral Copper Project. The terms of the Agreement are as follows:

– Intrepid shall pay the vendor $10,000 USD upon closing and shall issue 75,000 common shares for 100% of the Emmet Claim.
– The closing of the acquisition of the Emmet Claim is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
– The vendor is arm’s length to the Company.
– No finder’s fees are payable in connection with this transaction.

In addition, the Company has granted a total of 1,850,000 stock options to directors, officers and consultants of the Company. The stock options have an exercise price of $0.39 and expire on April 14, 2030.

About Corral Copper

The Corral Copper Property, located near historical mining areas, is an advanced exploration and development opportunity in Cochise County, Arizona. Corral is located 15 miles east of the famous mining town of Tombstone and 22 miles north of the historic Bisbee mining camp which has produced more than 8 billion pounds of copper4. Production from the Bisbee mining camp, or within the district as disclosed in the next paragraph, is not necessarily indicative of the mineral potential at Corral.

The district has a mining history dating back to the late 1800s, with several small mines extracting copper from the area in the early 1900s, producing several thousand tons. Between 1950 and 2008, various companies explored parts of the district, but the effort was uncoordinated, non-synergistic and focused on discrete land positions and commodities due to the fragmented ownership. Intrepid has been able to secure data from various sources which provides a solid foundation in creating geological interpretations and identifying new target areas.

The Corral Copper Property is comprised of the Excelsior Property, the CCCI Properties, the Sara Claim Group and the MAN Property. The Company has completed the acquisition of the Excelsior Property and Sara Claim Group through purchase and sale agreements. The Company has the right to acquire the corporate group that holds the CCCI Properties through an option agreement. The Company has the right to acquire the MAN Property through an option agreement. See the “Commitments” section of the Company’s most recently filed Management Discussion and Analysis for further details.

Intrepid is confident that by combining modern exploration techniques with historical data and with a clear focus on responsible development, the Corral Copper Property can quickly become an advanced exploration stage project and move towards development studies.

Metal prices used for the CuEq and AuEQ calculations are in USD based on Ag $22.00/oz, Au $1900/oz, Cu $3.80/lb, Zn $1.15/lb The following equation was used to calculate copper equivalence: CuEq = Copper (%) (85% rec.) + (Gold (g/t) x 0.71)(80% rec.) + (Silver (g/t) x 0.0077)(80% rec.) + (Zinc (%) x 0.28)(80% rec.). The following equation was used to calculate gold equivalence: AuEq = Gold (g/t)(80% rec.) + (Copper (%) x 1.4085)(85% rec.) + (Silver (g/t) x 0.0108)(80% rec.) + (Zinc (%) x 0.4188)(80% rec.). Analyzed metal equivalent calculations are reported for illustrative purposes only. The metal chosen for reporting on an equivalent basis is the one that contributes the most dollar value after accounting for assumed recoveries.
